This guide is so bad that I might actually call it harmful

  • Bee and mosquito bites manifest pretty differently across people, but I can forgive that

  • Spider bites vary wildly depending on species and depending on your location you should know if venomous spiders are in your area and how deadly they are

  • That is not what tick bites look like, that’s what Lyme disease looks like. If you see that you should be concerned because you likely have a lifelong affliction. Also, identifying tick bites is stupid, they stay attached to you

  • The most characteristic part of bed bug bites are a series of bites in a short line/grouping. They stop feeding in response to micro movements and relocate to feed again

  • Also mosquito bites really might look differently on different people.
